The Wet Geochemistry Lab will be equipped to enable users to conduct sequential extractions of sulfur, carbon, iron, and other elemental phases from powdered rock samples, sediments, and natural waters. This state-of-the-art lab will have three fume hoods, ample space for sample processing and descriptions, and an on-site walk-in refrigerator for storage of sediment cores and water.

The Isotope Ratio Mass Spectrometer Lab is a facility shared with Professor Emmy Smith where we will analyze carbon, sulfur, oxygen, and nitrogen isotope compositions on materials extracted in the wet geochemistry lab. It will house two instruments: (1) a DeltaV Plus stable isotope ratio mass spectrometer and (2) a Thermo MAT 253 and three peripherals: (1) an Elemental Analyzer, (2) a High Temperature Conversion Elemental Analyzer, and (3) a GasBench II.
